Stayed at The Jefferson for a 3 day weekend to reconnect with friends, Richmond was our 1/2 way meeting point and I had previously lived there & was familiar with the area so there was no question we would stay at The Jefferson.
The complementary shuttles provided via The Concierge were so convenient for going to explore the vast array of wonderful dining options (much expanded since I lived in Richmond 20 yrs ago!), the area is safe and quiet and during the day we could easily walk to a variety of coffee shops and cafes for breakfast/southern brunch or afternoon snacks & cocktails. We did not dine at Lemaire but the menu looked wonderful and we did frequent the bar most evenings upon returning from our outings, drinks were delicious!
The most wonderful thing about The Jefferson is the efforts the staff make to ensure their guests enjoy their stay. The hotel itself is a sight to behold, From the alligator statue and foliage at the main entrance to the amazing stained glass ceiling in the front lobby, the building is magnificent. Our service was impeccable, rooms are clean, updated nicely, and the beds were comfortable. We got massages at The Spa and they were heavenly!
We will,definitely return to The Jefferson
